Noob Question Thread: Ask Any Questions About Linux!
I thought I'll make this thread for all of you out there who have questions but are afraid to ask them. This is your chance!
I'll try my best to answer any questions here, but I hope others in the community will contribute too!

This is the way. There is a GParted distro that you can boot from a USB-drive that will allow you to move the partition and expand it to take up the free space Windows left.
You should first install GParted to familiarise yourself a little with how the GUI looks. It's relatively simple, definitely simpler than parted, but it doesn't hurt to have a look around before doing it live.
It's also good to note that everything you do in GParted needs to be applied before it's actually done. You "cannot" accidentally delete a whole partition without actually hitting an apply button.
I definitely meant gparted in my reply. That'll teach me to proofread better.
